…Conference speakers say the liberal arts must return to a purer form to survive @insidehighered.
Once you grasp the distinction between training, which is instrumental — how to do something — and education, which is formative — how to become someone — the problem becomes much clearer.
Alas, too many colleges and universities focus on training rather than education. I do not foresee any changes to that lamentable focus in the near future. Spend some time on a college campus, and you will see the sad state of affairs.
